Description
You might be surprised that coral bells are named after their dainty flowers, even though the real star of the show is their foliage. These semi-evergreen perennials come in nearly every color, which is why we offer over 20 types on our site. Each has a low-mounding habit that can easily nestle into shaded corners, containers, or even rock gardens. Since they're low maintenance, heat tolerant, and easy to grow, they're the perennial we recommend most to shade gardeners of any level.

How to Grow
Light: Thrives in the shade and very colorful varieties will get better color in part sun. The color can wash out in full sun, and too much heat and light can cause the leaves to scorch.
Water: Keep the soil evenly moist, but not consistently wet to prevent root rot.
Spacing: 28 - 32" apart
Fertilizing: An application of all-purpose garden fertilizer can be applied in spring.
Winterizing: Mulch in a 2-3" layer around the base will prevent freezing and thawing that can heave the plant's roots.
Maintenance & pruning: In spring, clean up old tattered leaves before new growth starts to emerge too robustly. Cut back the entire flower stalk after flowering to put the plant's energy into growing more leaves.
Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:
Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:
Not sure just how many plants will fit in your garden? Our calculator gives you the exact amount of plants required for your space. Simply update the values and the calculator will re-calculate accordingly. Spacing information can be found in the 'How to Grow' tab on each plant's page.
i ordered two coral bells and one foam flower in small pots. arrived in excellent condition, healthy and leafed out. Highly recommend this company!
I got these to go with the Primo Wild Rose and it makes a great companion both in size and color. These were a great size too, I was impressed!
The plants were small but healthy. Always hard for me to envision what the plant will look like when delivered. Looking forward to next spring/summer!
Very happy to have it in my garden.
They were beautiful

The color of this heuchera is beautiful... but the leaves come out on such spindly steps that they all fall to the ground.

End-of-season but still well-grown - no leftovers here! Perfect fall planting time.
I ordered 9 heuchera plants for a local city park garden. They arrived in such good shape, it was difficult ult to tell they had gone through the delivery process. They have been in the ground for 3 weeks and appear healthy and upright. I am more than pleased.
Beautiful plants arrived and are thriving in the ground
I ordered a number of plants at the same time as the Primo Pistachio Ambrosia Coral Bell and they all seem to being fine. Not so with this poor plant. I will submit a photo and ask for another plant to replace.
